He never really ate anything I offered which I chalked up to being at a new home but then Monday he started throwing up anything he did eat. No diarrhea or blood in his stool. I took him back to the Vet yesterday to make sure he wasn't hypoglycemic. Everything was good. The vet has suspicions he may be younger than 8 months and was weaned too early so he gave me formula to try
He would drink it but would throw it up immediately. The first 3 nights he was very vocal at night whining and crying. I woke up this morning after not hearing him all night worried sick. I dropped off a stool sample this morning, I should hear back tomorrow. The vet examined some of his stool today and said he could see some bacteria so he gave me some antibiotic but he just threw up the first dose I gave him. Does any of this sound like what anyone has experienced with Giardia?! |
My 13 week old puppy has Giardia and it was diagnosed three days after I got her. First thing they gave me was panacur granules and I wouldn't recommend because I believe that is one of the reasons why my dog stopped eating... it must taste bad!!! After three days of the med I stopped giving it to her and glad I did but now I'm running another cycle of Panacur but in liquid form (I think it's better liquid).... I think my dog doesn't eat much because her diarrhea is bad and in her mind maybe eating=diarrhea?
Be careful when you give the medicine so that the puppy doesn't choke...
Let us know how your pup is doing!!
